let me just quickly say that the technology changes the cost of these resources. doesn't just unleash them. but eventually the technology makes our resources competitive with declining resources in the middle east. but your point on jobs is the one i'm most interested in as well. most people think of these jobs as hard-hat jobs. guys in the field drilling and digging. they are. they're high value jobs but they generate jobs in the information technology industry, health care industry, manufacturing industry. in fact ohio has under construction a almost billion dollar steel mill for the first time in junk town, ohio. -- youngstown, ohio. it is being built to provide oil and gas manufacturing pipe for the state of ohio. ohio and dozen other swing states are enjoying a boom because of cheap natural gas. melissa: i do you one better. cheap and abundant natural gas and energy to fuel it and comes full circle. thanks for coming on. i wish we had more time. >> thank you. melissa: sandy on the brink of landfall. hundreds of thousands are already without power. floodwaters
